The non-profi t group is seeking fi - nancial donations to help pay for the expenses of the stu- dents. In part, the students will carry photos of Oregon vet- erans of World War II in the parade honoring living and past members of the greatest generation. Landen Van Dyck of Keizer has been chosen to be one of the four students to participate. Van Dyck wrote that he has been interested in World War II for as long as he can remem- ber. He was inspired, in part, by his grandfather, Marcus Petterson, who served in both WWII and the Korean War. Chosen students must have a GPA of 3.5 or above. Oregon Spirit of ‘45, founded by Keizerite Bar- bara Jensen, is a program that honors the achievements of the World War II generation so their examples of courage, self-sacrifi ce and service will inspire younger generations.
